School visits 2015-16

August 9, 2016 by Simon James

It’s been another busy year with many events around the country, particularly with the publication of a special edition of Dear Greenpeace, to celebrate it’s 25th year. There have been more new festivals to attend this year, starting with a new one for me, the Henley Book Festival last September, and then Birmingham, Totnes Children’s Book Festival, WOW at Worthing, Cardiff Book Festival and culminating in another event at the Hay on Wye Literary Festival in May. I am also looking forward to attending Cheltenham Literary Festival and the ‘Off the Shelf’ book festival in Sheffield later this autumn. It is always a great pleasure to get out of my studio and meet children and parents at these events.

As always , my school visits have kept me busy. I would like to post here a sincere thank you to all the teachers and children who have welcomed me in to their school halls. There are too many for me to list here, but a special mention to Widey Court, St Andrews, Plympton St Maurice, and St Mary’s in Plymouth, South Marsdon in Swindon, Denbury School, Prince’s Mead in Winchester, Callington and Burraton schools in Cornwall and Marlborough Primary School. Finally, thank you to the lively teenagers at Exe Academy in Exeter. These are just a few of the many wonderful schools I have enjoyed visiting this year. Thank you to all.
